About Kevin

Thank you for reviewing my Avvo page. I am a proud father of three daughters, the oldest of which has autism.  I am active in the special needs community and enjoy working with families on special needs estate planning and guardianships in addition to traditional estate planning, probate, real estate and small business.  I enjoy cooking, especially smoking meat, and spending time with family.  I have also enjoyed water skiing, snow skiing and SCUBA diving.

    Kevin was invaluable in advising us on our family's lake cottage for appropriate estate and liability protection. This has given us peace of mind in knowing we can enjoy and leave our family legacy to future generations. I highly recommend his services as he brings a level of expertise beyond what I expected.

    Attorney Kevin Bacon is extremely knowledgeable in many areas of law, and is especially caring when it comes to difficult conversations dealing with estate planning, disabilities, as well as simple wills and directives. Most of all he is straightforward in his approach which can make the entire experience less stressful. I feel very confident with his advice and will recommend Attorney Bacon every chance I get!
